Some of my model figures

Article about: Hi Ian, I know the technique well, just never seem to be able to get it just right. Do you use a hard or soft brush for the oil paint coat? Tom

    Default Some of my model figures

    Hi guys,

    Just to keep a promise I made some time ago.
    Attached are some pic's of some of my models. These two are a German Infantryman, early WW2 and was originally completed in about 1990, it was also only the second figure that I made in this scale.
    The other one is of a British Para, Falklands War 1982. This was made about 1996.

    Both figures are resin and metal kits and are 120mm scale.

    Hi guys.

    Some more of my models.
    Again, these are 120mm scale.
    The first one is a German Infantryman,Russian Front 1941 - 42. This was the first figure that I ever made in this scale way back in 1990!!
    The other one is a Royal Marine Commando, Falklands War 1982. This was made in 1996.

    Hope you like them.

    Regards etc

    Ian

    Thanks for the compliments guys, much appreciated.

    Dave,
    I have a few more pic's to post up of figures in this scale, (not counting the ones unmade in the cupboard!!)
    I am one of those people, who, if a model takes my eye, regardless of what it is, I will get if I have the money at the time.
    I think that a couple of the ones that I am thinking about posting will cause a few surprises/raised eyebrows!

    All the best

    Ian


    PS: Forgot to mention, I also know from personal expeience what its like to fire a Charlie G...............AND get the backwash on the back of the legs through DPM combats!!

    Hi Ian, very well painted models!! I especially love the woodwork on the Eastern Front German infantryman. You should post some close-ups.

    Hi Tom

    The woodwork was done by painting a thin, "streaked out" oil paint over a matt enamel (Humbrol matt 63 Sand if memory serves right).
    This is a method I learnt many years ago and one that I use regularly when I have to do woodwork on my models.

    I tend to use enamels and acrylics for the majority of my figures with oils for flesh, leatherwork, weapon woodwork etc, but this is not a hard and fast rule for me and I use whatever feels right at the time.

    All the best
    Ian
